Maniac

**(Music Intro: Distorted, overdriven beat with frantic hi-hats and a repetitive, haunting cowbell. A glitched, electronic whine builds.)**

**(Verse 1)**
Tick-tock, the clockwork heart in my chest
Piston pumpin' poison, put my fury to the test
I can smell your fear, a sweet metallic taste
Got your scent in the static, ain't no time to waste
You're just a flicker on my thermal-optics screen
A panicked little rabbit in a field of gasoline
Stalking through the wreckage, my heels on the glass
Singing a lullaby for the screams that'll pass
(The hummed melody is a distorted, glitched-out version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")
*(Hums)*
Mm-mm-mm-mm... a symphony of dread...

**(Chorus 1)**
**CARVE YOUR NAME INTO THE WALL!**
**HEAR YOUR PRETTY LITTLE VOICE START TO CRAWL!**
**FEEL THE RHYTHM AS I TEAR YOU ALL APART!**
**A PERFECT DISSONANCE, A WORK OF ART!**
**DANCE! DANCE! DANCE IN THE CARNIVAL OF STEEL!**
**THIS PAIN IS REAL, THE ONLY THING YOU FEEL!**
**I'LL FEAST ON YOUR FINAL, FALTERING BREATH!**
**AND SAVOR THE SWEET, SWEET TASTE OF YOUR DEATH!**

**(Verse 2)**
Shattered bones and sinew, that's my pavement gray
I paint the streets in crimson as I make my play
Your pulse is just a tempo for my hammering heart
A brutal, bloody rhythm, a slaughterhouse art
Overdrive the signal, break your fragile mind
The kind of peace you'll find is the permanent kind
I'm the glitch in your system, the virus in your code
The final destination on this bloody road
(The hummed melody is a low, guttural, rhythmic growl that mimics the bassline)
*(Hums a deep, distorted bass riff)*
Mm-mm-mm... hear the engine roar...

**(Chorus 2)**
**CARVE YOUR NAME INTO THE WALL!**
**HEAR YOUR PRETTY LITTLE VOICE START TO CRAWL!**
**FEEL THE RHYTHM AS I TEAR YOU ALL APART!**
**A PERFECT DISSONANCE, A WORK OF ART!**
**DANCE! DANCE! DANCE IN THE CARNIVAL OF STEEL!**
**THIS PAIN IS REAL, THE ONLY THING YOU FEEL!**
**I'LL FEAST ON YOUR FINAL, FALTERING BREATH!**
**AND SAVOR THE SWEET, SWEET TASTE OF YOUR DEATH!**

**(Bridge)**
(Slowing down, menacing spoken word over a heavy, distorted drop)
I can see the fear in your eyes from a mile away...
You think you can hide? You think you can pray?
The hunt... is the only thing that makes sense in this world.
The kill... is the only truth that's unfurled.
Now... RUN.

**(Breakdown / Instrumental: Full-on slaughter-core breakbeat, chaotic and distorted, with frantic cowbells and hi-hats. The vocals become a harsh, rhythmic scream.)**

**(Chorus 3 - Faster, more unhinged)**
**CARVE YOUR NAME INTO THE WALL!**
**HEAR YOUR PRETTY LITTLE VOICE START TO CRAWL!**
**FEEL THE RHYTHM AS I TEAR YOU ALL APART!**
**A PERFECT DISSONANCE, A WORK OF ART!**
**DANCE! DANCE! DANCE IN THE CARNIVAL OF STEEL!**
**THIS PAIN IS REAL, THE ONLY THING YOU FEEL!**
**I'LL FEAST ON YOUR FINAL, FALTERING BREATH!**
**AND SAVOR THE SWEET, SWEET TASTE OF YOUR DEATH!**

**(Outro)**
(Beat becomes a distorted, glitching loop. The singer's voice is a whisper, then a high-pitched, disturbing hum.)
The taste is fading...
Already searching...
For the next...
(The hummed melody is a warped, fading version of the opening glitch, signaling the hunt is never over.)
*(Hums)*
Mm... next...

**(Distorted fade-out, leaving only the echo of the cowbell and a final digital glitch.)**
